Three things we watchin market books.

Reconciling and closing are the same everywhere. This is where these books differ.

  1. Spoilage and inventory

    What gets thrown out changes margin. We tie it to the month-end count and show shrink on its own.

  2. Taxable vs. exempt items

    How groceries are taxed depends on the state. The return is only as right as the POS item setup.

  3. Vendor invoices and payables

    We match wholesaler invoices and balances owed every month, plus lottery or EBT settlements if you have them.

What we trackevery month.

You get these in your monthly report once the books close.

How often should we count inventory?
Every month-end is best. If that’s too much, count the expensive, perishable departments like meat and seafood monthly and the rest quarterly. Send us the counts; tying them to the books is our job.
Is food subject to sales tax?
It depends on the state. Many states exempt groceries but some tax them, and prepared food, drinks and household goods are often treated differently. We go through your POS item settings with you against your state’s rules.
We have two stores. Are the books kept separately?
Within one company, each store gets its own sales, cost and labor, so you see a P&L per store. Separate entities get separate books, each closed on its own. Growth includes two locations.
